The police have done nothing to quell the violence on the streets of Albany. Snug reaches out to the community! They also reach out to the offenders because they understand that they too have fallen victim to the cycle of violence that plagues so many impoverished communities. If I could choose who I would rather have in my neighborhood, which right now is suffering from a recent spate of shootings, I would choose SNUG. They bring positive action. The police, as I have seen first hand, divide the community. Many are arrogant and gawk at young women as if they are teenage boys. How is that effective? SNUG must not be allowed to die. It is the first program within Albany that has the potential to make real progress within the affected communities. These changes will not come overnight but no change does. Where are the priorities of those elected officials that are supposed to be acting in the best interest of its constituents?

COBIS has cost NY $40 million over the last 10 years and has helped solve exactly ZERO crimes. That’s $4 million per year for absolutely nothing. Get rid of COBIS and you’ll have plenty of funding for something that works.

Fighting guns is not a way to fight crime – this has been proven 1000x over, and every time the liberals are proven wrong, they simply find somebody else to blame for it. You liberal heads truly don’t care one bit about anybody’s safety other than your own! You should fear for yourselves due to the utter contempt which you display for the people who you look down on, whose Constitutional liberties you live to disparage and destroy.

If drugs were made legal the thug culture would die along with the violence associated with it. What you are advocating is akin to dealing with skin cancer by judicious use of Band-Aids.

Tue, 27 Sep 2011 11:51:52 +0000http://blog.timesunion.com/opinion/?p=14853#comment-7690There seems to be wide agreement on the effectiveness of SNUG/Ceasefire both in the community and in law enforcement. Why, then, would it be defunded?
